I agree with Robert. I’ve been publishing and distributing mobile applications since 1999 and the biggest challenge a developer has isn’t getting to the top of the deck (that can be accomplished via a comprehensive marketing plan) – it is staying at the top of the deck. This requires organic downloads from users who see your app and decide to download on impulse. This kind of decision is largely made based on the reviews that other people have left for your app – good reviews, in high volumes, produces results.

I’m advising Gnome Escape, a service that is focused on driving reviews on behalf of developers. Gnome Escape has a large community of end users who rely on the site for reviews, previews and recommendations of apps. Gnome Escape works with developers to promote their apps to its community and has a very effective method of reminding its users to leave reviews behind. In a typical 7 day placement on Gnome Escape, developers have seen between 12-24 pages of reviews in iTunes.

Having a strategy to ensure a volume of reviews when new apps are being released is as important as the strategy to drive download volume.

Missed a big one here. Add a viral social element into your app/game. Users of the app/game should be able to share different events that happen in the app/game. This will make your users your marketing staff.
